FBI probes machete attack at Ohio restaurant, police say motive unclear
Fox News ^ | Feb. 12, 2016

Posted on 02/12/2016 10:41:56 AM PST by Rennes Templar

The FBI is investigating a machete attack Thursday night that turned a popular, Israeli-owned restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, into a bloodbath, but local police say there is no indication so far of a terror motive.

Of the four patrons wounded in the attack at the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli, one was in critical condition before being upgraded to “stable.” The attacker was identified as Mohammad Barry, a law enforcement source told Fox News.

"There's nothing to lead us to believe this is anything more than a random attack," Columbus police spokesman Sgt. Rich Weiner told the The Columbus Dispatch.

Weiner added that the FBI is also investigating the attack but declined say why.

A source told Fox News the FBI is scouring Barry's background, which includes interviewing associates and digging into his travel history. Fox is also told that investigators are looking into Barry's digital and online footprint for terrorist propaganda or evidence of communication extremists.

This sort of PC crap, this denial of reality, is why Trump is so popular.

Must keep in mind your situational awareness, all the time.

“Motive unclear” says the Magic 8 Ball of PC criminal investigations.

Q: How can you tell if an unprovoked attack in a public setting is a “random act”?

A: if the attackers name is “Mohammed”.

The owner has publicly said that he suspects he was targeted.

Columbus (and specifically an area about 3 miles from the attack) has the second highest population of Somalis in the U.S.

These Somalis have been implicated in numerous terror plots over the past few years.

Guess how they got there.......Refugees.

From PJ Media: “The popular owner of the restaurant is an Israeli Christian from Haifa. The husband of one of the victims claimed on Twitter last night that the suspect entered the restaurant and asked where the owner was from.”

He said, Israel, and the attack commenced. Well there is your motive: the owner was from Israel.

One hundred percent THIS !

So correct. I am a Cruz supporter. But you are so right , this is another one of the many things that have enabled Trump to such a standing. he stood up loud and clear against this exact type BS. He has enabled other conservatives to say other non PC things.

Details are still vague. Another news report said the owner is a Christian and it’s a restaurant that serves Mideastern food.

The proper police response should be: “We presume this is a radical Islamist terror attack until we prove otherwise. All Americans should be vigilant”.
